Grainy

Photos taken on 15th May, 2010.
Kodak Super Gold 400 film. Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim camera.

These pictures were taken at Tokyo Design Festa with my Vivitar toy camera.

Lesson learnt : “I’m not going to take any more indoor pictures with my Vivitar
coz ‘ all of them came out under-exposed.”

What you see here are all adjusted version.
I played with the contrast & color.

The graininess gives a nice effect to these pictures yah!?

Kodak Super Gold 400 film, Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim camera.

Remember I went to Shinjuku Gyoen a few weeks ago!?  These few pictures are taken with Vivitar. I think I prefer the ones I took with my Canon EOS 300. What do you think?

Another random batch of Vivitar photos. These were taken on a sunny day so the colors came out quite ok. Vivitar on a cloudy day is a big NO NO!! And shooting indoor is quite impossible too!

Kodak Super Gold 400, Vivitar Ultra Wide&Slim camera.

This is the first picture I got from the Kodak Super Gold 400 film that I developed recently. I swear I don’t remember taking this picture !!! I was loading the film in the train and I guess I accidentally pressed the shuttle!?

The burn effect is kinda cool yah!? I love all these surprises on film.

In the train

As you can see in this picture, Vivitar doesn’t work well for indoor lightings. btw. I got 40 pictures from a roll of 36 film! 4 pictures extra! Have any of you experienced this before?

I tried out Kodak Super Gold 400 film on my Vivitar and here’s the result. hmm…I didn’t like the colors on these at all. They seem to be very dull compared to the pictures I took with Agfa Vista films. What do you think?

Now that I’ve tried, I know for sure that this camera doesn’t work well on macro shots (3rd photo). And I don’t know what happened to the vignetting effects. Most of the pictures doesn’t seem to have it.

Japanese : バラ (ばら・bara)
